FOR THE LEAST OF THESE:A BIBLICAL ANSWER TO POVERTY

There is a growing emphasis among evangelical Christians on the biblical call to care for the poor, both in the US and overseas. However, in a well-intentioned effort to alleviate poverty, many Christians support government-oriented policies that are not only ineffective but actually increase poverty and reduce income mobility. With contributions from 14 thoughtful Christian economists, theologians, and others (historians, journalists, and business leaders), For the Least of These: A Biblical Answer to Poverty (Release date: 2014) equips Christians with both a biblical and economic understanding of how best to care for the poor and foster economic development. As a result, readers will learn how to live out and support efforts that truly promote the flourishing of our communities, cities, and our nation.

Topics and Contributing Authors Include:

Foreword—Arthur Brooks (American Enterprise Institute)

Who Are the Poor? – Glenn Sunshine (Central Connecticut State University)
